I was interested to read this but .... Can't make the text bigger because it doesn't wrap properly, and the image doesn't scroll with the text.

I read this. There is nothing that could indicate that those cellular automata match any physics, besides author saying so. There is only some diagrams and a lot of statements like:

> "d" represents the big bang singularity, which creates alot of (but not all?) matter. So this variation has inflation as a pocketed expansion of matterfilled space. (& "b" & "b1234" make alot more sense in this context.)"

There is nothing that would explain how "d" represents the bing bang, matter or dimensions. I think this is rambling of someone who read too much Wolfram works. It looks very impressive, like TempleOS.

I've never seen someone write "&" as a total replacement for "and". I don't like the way it makes me feel.

I saw it on HN before (and did not like that, either), while now noticed it in another submission by the same user, on a similar topic. [0]

Apart from that, as mentioned in another comment here, the article's content seems no less strange than the style.
